Dilbert's Scott Adams Explains "How To Know You're In A Mass Hysteria Bubble"

I didn't know that bigtexxx had a tranny issue. Do tell.

 

From the linked posted above, Adams doesn't even vote. All of those endorsements could be publicity stunts.

 

You do realize this is the guy who created Dilbert? Have you ever read it? He pretty much straight out said he's intentionally being wishy washy to protect his brand.

 

Deflect because you know I'm right.

 

Mass hysteria is one of mojo's favorite phrases. Probably from listening to Mark Levin too much or reading too many Laura Ingraham websites. Everyone that doesn't cater to right wing propaganda is in varying degrees of mass hysteria. His brain is full of right wing catch phrases and pseudo intellectual nonsense. Boring.

 

Someone took this too seriously.

 

You do realize that just because someone creates a famous comic strip doesn't mean they can't go senile.

 

You do realize just because someone can post on a BBS doesn't mean they aren't nuts?

 

I mean, yeah, we all know you're nuts and clearly you post here. Guess you proved your own point!

 

Forum Nazis like Deckard are going to come after you now.

 

Scott Adams? LOL. This guy was on the Sam Harris podcast recently. I highly recommend it. Keep in mind that this is the absolute best you can hope for as far as a defense of Trump. No one with any amount of smarts will ever defend DJT. I'd love to be wrong on that, so please point me in that direction if that is the case. I certainly haven't seen it in this forum.

 

Thankfully he has me blocked. Now I have no reason to respond to his idiotic posts of the week.

 

I agree with Adams.

I would point out the same thing happened during the Presidency of Obama. There was wide spread hysteria and outrage about Obama from the right.

This isn't unique to a single political view, just the triggers differ.

I do believe that most Liberals believe that Donald Trump is racist. I also believe a majority of Republicans felt Obama disliked white people.

With Trump, rather than focus coverage on his perceived racism, the focus should be on him having the least successful start to a Presidency in US history. He has been nothing short of an absolute and complete failure and embarrassment so far.

Monuments of Robert E. Lee mean very little in the larger context.

 

I personally never felt any animus towards Obama the man. And I never felt he "disliked white people". I do feel he reflected the black experience and sympathized with it (understandably) much more than any president should. To me, it felt uncomfortable and inappropriate. Nevertheless, this is not the main reason I personally was disappointed in his presidency. For me it was his policies (like ramming through a hugely important healthcare billon a party line vote) which I never thought was right for the country AND his inability to bring the country together due to the scandals that occurred and his complete denial of wrongdoing.

As far as the man himself goes, I always thought (and still do) that he's a nice guy, a good family man and well meaning.

 

Please elaborate.

 

Fake News!

My one criticism of Obama is that he did not bring the country together more. Obama could have done more to build behind-the-scenes relationships with Congress, both sides of the aisle. The conservative public rhetoric might not have changed but Obama might have had some legislative victories in his last six years. For example, the infrastructure bill that should be bipartisan and easily passed by the current Congress could have been passed in Obama's last six years in office.

Having said that ...

I am not 100% sure that the Republican Congress in Obama's last six years would have been any different. They appear to dead set on making Obama, America's first black President, look bad in his last six years and going forward.

Despite your assertion that Obama had scandals, history will likely reflect that the Obama Presidency was scandal free and that Obama served with dignity in the face thinly veiled racist attacks from the Right. Obama will likely be ranked as an average to above average President.

 

People need to wake up and stop letting the media control their emotions. The media loves identity politics and division. This is what gets viewers. The media is the group that convinced 40k to march in Boston yesterday. There is not a neo nazi / kkk problem in America. They are a tiny fringe who are laughed at. The media coverage legitimized them. People need to see through this and think for themselves and not let the media define the agenda.

I'm going to hold my judgement until I know what Orson Scott Card thinks about all this.
